Argentina National Football TeamThe Argentina national football team is one of the most successful national football teams, having won two World Cups and one Olympic Title. Argentina and Uruguay hold the record for the most international matches played against two countries, there have been 161 matches played against each other since 1901. The first match against Uruguay was the first official international match to be played outside Britain. (Although Canada and the United States played two internationals in 1885 and 1886, neither match is considered official; Canada did not play an official international until 1904 and the USA did not play one until 1916.) Argentina has appeared in four World Cup finals, including the first final in 1930, which they lost 4-2 to Uruguay. They won the final at their next attempt in 1978, beating the Netherlands 3-1 and also won in 1986, a 3-2 victory over West Germany. Their last final was in 1990, which they lost 1-0 to West Germany. Argentina have been very successful in Copa Amrica, winning it eleven times and also winning the 'extra' South American Championships in 1941, 1945 and 1946.
